The Consultorio Territorial Amazónico (CT), was a participatory field investigation project in Ecuador’s northern Amazon region and conducted by a team of researchers and students from the fields of urbanism, architecture, geography, anthropology, ethnography and sociology. It was based at the Provincial Government of Sucumbíos in Lago Agrio and received valuable support from the Center for Agricultural Research and Services (CISAS), the Kichwa indigenous communities of Añangu and Nueva Providencia, members of several cooperatives from the Parishes of El Eno, Limoncocha and San Roque, and representatives of Portonapo Providencia.

Departing from previous academic research done by the Manta-Manaus Lab at PUCE, this project considered a wider territory within the Municipality of Shushufindi, including small towns, agricultural plots from the agrarian reform, indigenous territories, protected areas and local productive enterprises. Along with qualitative research, land surveys (GIS) were carried out along the new Yamanunka-Providencia road in order to provide updated cadastral information for the next phase, the Strategic Territorial Plan for the Manta-Manaos Corridor in Sucumbíos (Plan ZIMM-S).
